There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

Crockpot Asian Pork and Noodles

Feb 04 2015

We had Pad Thai last night and some more Asian flavor
tonight for supper. I found this recipe at Food Network and it looked good. I
wanted to do something in the Crockpot and this would be a change from the
usual pork. I had to adapt it since I could not find some of the ingredients
and I don’t care for ginger or anise so I omitted them.

I had a 3 pound boneless pork shoulder roast and got it in
the pot at 8:00 AM for 8 hours on low. At 4:00 I took the roast out and let
cool; then shredded, cut up and back in the pot. It was fall apart tender. I
turned the Crockpot on high.

Since I was using pasta instead of rice noodles I figured
they needed to be in the pot sooner and I par boiled them for 5 minutes. I got
them in the pot about 5:15. I then cut up a half head of Napa cabbage and in
the pot. I served it at 6:00 along with some crusty bread and butter.

The wife and I both liked it, she ate it as is, I had some
dried chives and a few French fried onions on top of mine. After tasting I
needed some heat in it so added 5 or 6 shakes of Cholula hot sauce. Next time I
will add at least 1 tsp. of dried pepper flakes when cooking. I think my
topping of choice would be some sliced green onions.

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
